From the truly unique manga-ka and author of the award-winning series Blue Period. Three deeply resonant short manga stories that turn the traditional style of josei manga into something stranger and more erotic. Three tales explore the darker more mature side of Tsubasa Yamaguchi's imagnination, where they weave the complex webs that provide little in the way of easy answers, while accurately depicting the strangeness and confusion of life for teenagers and adults alike. This fascinating, elliptical and alluring collection of shorts is very much more than the sum of its parts.
